   Very enjoyable date night with hubby. Food was very tasty. Sharing meat platter - Pizza - Stufato di Manzo. (Pity that Wine Wednesday wasn’t available even though it wasn’t yet December.)

   Came here with my family and enjoyed our meals and the setting but we could have had better service. The maitre d' was really welcoming and great with our daughter but the rest of staff were a bit disjointed and didnt seem to talk to each other. We ended up with the wrong dish but our server was really hard to get hold of and the waiter who served the food didnt seem to know if what he was giving us was correct.

   Dear Katie, Thank you for your review and for bringing your family to dine with us. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the meals and setting, and that our maître d' made you feel welcome, especially with your daughter! However, I sincerely apologize for the confusion and lack of communication among our staff. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing it with the team to ensure smoother service in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience. Best regards, Domenico

   We celebrated our parents’ 50th anniversary at Piccolino Hale, and it was an evening we’ll never forget. The hospitality was incredible from start to finish. Pasquale, the manager, went out of his way to make the night special—he even surprised Mum with a beautiful orchid, which made her so emotional. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture! The table was elegantly prepared with a lovely card for our parents that brought tears to Mum’s eyes. The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They even prepared a surprise dessert with “Happy 50th Anniversary” written on it, which added the perfect touch to the evening. The team was attentive, warm, and made us feel so cared for. Piccolino Hale didn’t just host our celebration—they created a memory we’ll always treasure. Thank you, Pasquale, and the amazing staff for making it so special!

   A really good Sunday lunch. Service was excellent and we enjoyed a very leisurely afternoon. The mixed antipasto was excellent …..such a lot we had to take some home at the end of the meal! Roast beef was perfect - roast lamb slightly on the raw side of pink. Fresh vegetables were excellent…..but roast potatoes a bit past their crispness and rather soft. The sharing pudding was amazing! We would definitely recommend - and will return!
